A (Free-ish) Show Tonight: Lucinda Williams at Rough Trade
Lucinda Williams is the kind of artist best appreciated in a few very specific environments: wrapped in a blanket, under the haze of contemplation; post-breakup gazing into a deep glass of something strong; in a car with all your possessions in the back seat, with all that you’re leaving behind in the rear-view. She makes leaving-your-lover music, the soundtrack to packing everything you own in a duffel bag and hitting the road, and lucky for you, she’s performing live at Rough Trade in Williamsburg, in advance of the release of her latest, a heavy-hitting double album, Down Where The Spirt Meets The Bone. Admission to this intimate show is free, with purchase of her album on vinyl.. Check out a video from the recording sessions for this album below, and do yourself a favor on this cloudy, weirdly warm Monday and get to Rough Trade tonight at 6:30.
